David B. Fein, U.S. attorney for
the District of Connecticut, an-
nounced last Friday that Emanuel
Nicolescu, 32, formerly of Ridge-
wood, N.Y., was sentenced by U.S.
District Judge Mark R. Kravitz in
New Haven to 240 months (20
years) in prison followed by three
years of supervised release for
his participation in a 2007 Con-
necticut home invasion.
This lengthy sentence is ap-
propriate for a defendant who
participated in a violent home
invasion, said Fein. I commend
the excellent work of the law en-
forcement agencies involved in
this investigation, including the
Connecticut State Police; the FBI
in Connecticut, New York City,
and Chicago; the New York City
Police Department; and ICE
Homeland Security Investiga-
tions. Our work is not done as we
seek to bring others involved in
this serious crime to justice.
March 22, 2012, a jury found
Nicolescu guilty of attempted ex-
tortion, conspiracy to commit
extortion and possession of a
stolen vehicle. According to the
evidence presented during the
trial, Nicolescu and two other
individuals, wearing masks and
brandishing knives and firearms,
entered a home in South Kent,
Conn., shortly before midnight
April 15, 2007. The intruders
bound and blindfolded two adult
victims and injected each with a
substance the intruders claimed
was a deadly virus.
The intruders ordered the
victims to pay $8.5 million or else
they would be left to die from the
lethal injection. When it became
clear the victims were not in a
position to meet the intruders
demands, Nicolescu and his co-
conspirators drugged the two
residents with a sleeping aid and
fled in the homeowners Jeep
Cherokee.
The stolen Jeep Cherokee was
abandoned the next morning in
New Rochelle, N.Y. Nicolescus
DNA was found on the steering
wheel of the vehicle. At trial,
prosecutors showed that al-
though Nicolescu had been em-
ployed as a butler at the resi-
dence in South Kent for two
months in 2006, the homeowner
purchased the Jeep Cherokee
after Nicolescu had been fired
and was no longer on the prem-
ises.
In addition to DNA evidence,
expert testimony and the testi-
mony from the two victims, at
trial the government introduced
into evidence the contents of an
accordion case that washed
ashore in Jamaica Bay six days
after the home invasion. This
evidence included a stun gun, a
12-inch knife, a black plastic Air-
soft gun, a crowbar, syringes,
sleeping pills, latex gloves and a
laminated telephone card with
the South Kent address of the
victims. Trial testimony from
Nicolescus former wife and for-
mer father-in-law showed that
Nicolescus father-in-law made
the knife and gave it to Nicolescu
as a gift.
On the night of the home in-
vasion, one of the victims was
caring for her 3-year-old grand-
child. During the victims testi-
mony at trial, the victim stated
that, during the ordeal, I spent
a lot of time while I was just sit-
ting there thinking about well,
my children and how horrible
this was going to be for them,
because I was sure I was going
to die. And I kept thinking that
my daughter, who was about to
deliver a baby, was going to wake
up in the morning and find her
mother dead and her child either
dead or kidnapped I just didnt
see how anyone could survive
something like that ... I just felt
like I had failed as a mother, that
at that point she could be in that
position ... That was my primary
concern all night.
Nicolescu has been in federal
custody since his arrest by the
FBI in Illinois on Jan. 23, 2011.

Kent home invasion

Ever feel as if you are being
ignored when you walk into a
restaurant? You wont feel that
way when you visit the new
Dickeys Barbecue Pit in Naug-
atuck. Every person who walks
through the door is greeted with
a warm, Welcome to Dickeys.
A Middlebury couple, Donna
and Mark Ferrari, along with
their younger son, Ryan, opened
the doors of their new venture
May 31. The formal grand open-
ing is today, Friday, from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Grand opening spe-
cials include a $1 pulled pork
big barbecue sandwich. The
regular price is $5.
The restaurant is at 160 Rub-
ber Ave. in Naugatuck next to
Ferraris Appliance, which
Donna and Mark used to own.
It is now owned and run by their
niece, Stacey.
After selling the appliance
store, the couple started looking
into running another business.
They settled on Dickeys Barbe-
cue, which is based in Dallas,
Texas (see Dickeys.com). We
were looking for something dif-
ferent, Donna said.
To prepare for their new ven-
ture, Donna, Mark and Ryan
each spent three weeks in Dallas
in April learning exactly how to
prepare the authentic Texas bar-
becue the chain offers its cus-
tomers. The most popular item
on the menu is the ribs, Donna
said. And the kids love the
chicken nuggets and macaroni
and cheese.
Dickeys seems to have all the
bases covered when it comes to
pleasing its customers. They can
eat in or take out, they can buy
box lunches, they can buy food
for one or food packs that go all
the way up to the XL family
pack, which feeds six to eight.
They also can have food catered.
Donna said a man from Mid-
dlebury came in and placed a
catering order for 40 people. I
heard about your food, he said.
Donna asked him if he wanted
to taste it first, and he said, No.
He placed the catering order
and then had his lunch.
Another Middlebury resi-
dent, John DiCorpo, stopped in
to buy his lunch while we were
at Dickeys Tuesday. He said he
stops there often because its
convenient and the food is good.
He said he cut out the Dickeys
coupon in this paper and will
use it when he brings his family
there for a meal.
Dickeys focuses on being a
family restaurant. Every Sunday,
it offers a free kids meal with
each regular meal purchased.
Kids meal offerings include the
basic food groups chicken
nuggets and macaroni and
cheese. All meals come with free
pickles and free vanilla soft-
serve ice cream.
The star of the menu, as
would be expected, is the au-
thentic Texas barbecue, which
is prepared fresh daily. Offerings
are pork ribs, pulled pork,
chopped or sliced beef brisket,
ham, turkey breast, chicken
breast, Polish sausage and spicy
sausage. Both sandwiches and
meal plates are available.
Sides include the usual
beans, coleslaw and potato
salad, but Dickeys also offers
fried onion tanglers (strips of
battered and fried onions), waf-
fle-iron fries, fried okra and
green beans with bacon. Mark
said most people hesitate to or-
der green beans when they eat
out because they expect them
to be on the plain side. He said
they are not: It takes three hours
and a process that includes car-
amelizing onions to turn out
unusually tasty green beans. He
said people are amazed to find
out how good a green bean can
taste.
The restaurant has been open
less than three months, but it is
already giving back to the com-
munity. It has held or will hold
fundraisers for the Boys and
Girls Club of Waterbury, Special
Olympics Naugatuck, the Nau-
gatuck Senior Center, NEON (an
ecumenical group that helps
feed the hungry) and the Nau-
gatuck YMCA. On fundraising
days, Dickeys donates 10 per-
cent of its net to the nonprofit
being sponsored that day.
Dickeys is open seven days
a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Their number is 203-729-2222.

page two.

The Middlebury Economic
and Industrial Development
Commission (EIDC) at its Aug.
21 meeting reviewed a tax incen-
tive program application from
Winchester Electronics, voted to
request funding to list available
commercial properties on the
town website and formed a sub-
committee to prepare a commer-
cial development guidebook.
Winchester Electronics Hu-
man Resources Manager Jasmine
Mcintyre told commissioners her
growing Wallingford, Conn.,
company was planning to relo-
cate its 59 Research and Devel-
opment (R&D) employees to
either Middlebury or Waterbury
by Nov. 1 as a consolidation
move. She said she submitted a
tax incentive program applica-
tion to First Selectman Edward
B. St. John Friday, Aug. 17.
Winchester Electronics re-
cently acquired two other com-
panies and has more than 1,000
employees worldwide in Mexico,
China and Malaysia. Mcintyre
said most of the R&D employees
were already commuting, but she
mentioned Middleburys quality
of life and the Region 15 school
district as desirable attractions
to new employees.
The company is considering a
20,000-square-foot portion of the
former Timex World Headquar-
ters at 199 Park Road, which
would allow room for the 59 re-
located employees and eight new
employees in the next two years
and would reserve about 6,000
square feet for future growth. She
said the average salary of R&D
engineers is about $70,000, and
about $3 million in personal
property will move to the build-
ing.
Co-chairman Gerry Matthews
told members he represented the
landlord at 199 Park Road and
would abstain from voting.
Co-chairman Michael Kenausis
asked members to read the pro-
posal in preparation for a special
meeting with selectmen he
would try to schedule for Mon-
day, Aug. 27, so they could act
quickly. Matthews said Water-
bury could be expected to pro-
pose a similar incentive package
for 20,000-square-foot properties
in that city.
The Aug. 21 EIDC meeting
date was noted by Kenausis as
being a fortuitous mistake. He
said the commission normally
meets the fourth Tuesday, but the
meeting was incorrectly posted
for the third Tuesday to allow
Winchester Electronics to have a
fast review.
Editors note: The Freedom of
Information Act requires notice
of meetings not on the regular
meeting night be posted as spe-
cial meetings. The meeting notice
filed with the Town Clerk Aug. 17
did not state the meeting was a
special meeting.
In new business, members
voted unanimously to ask the
Board of Finance (BOF) for $550
per year to advertise Middlebury
commercial properties on the
town web site. Kenausis verified
with web coordinator Barbara
Whitaker that such a link would
be prominent to visitors. The link
uses the ctsitefinder.com portal
on the Connecticut Economic
Resource Center web site to pro-
mote all commercial property in
Middlebury.
New member Frank Mirovsky
was welcomed to the commis-
sion. He quickly observed Kenau-
sis was acting as both recording
clerk and co-chairman. Kenausis,
who also serves as a BOF mem-
ber, told him budget cuts in 2010
eliminated funding for recording
clerk assistance, so commission-
ers were forced to multi-task.
Mirovsky asked about strategic
EIDC goals, offering a document
from New Milfords Economic
Development group as an exam-
ple. Matthews reviewed the doc-
ument and said hed rework it as
a proposal for EIDC members to
consider at the next meeting.
A planned meeting between
Commissioners Ted Manello and
Mark Petrucci of the Planning
and Zoning Commission (P&Z)
on architectural standards for the
Middlebury Center area running
between Bristol Park and Ledge-
wood Park on Route 64 did not
occur. Those standards fit into
updates of the Plan of Conserva-
tion and Development being led
by Town Planner Brian Miller in
a series of P&Z workshops.
Manello had commented Feb.
13 that the EIDC was charged
with reviewing construction
plans without guidelines for de-
velopers to follow even though
members favored Colonial de-
signs incorporating roofing, sid-
ing and construction materials

I Brake for Yard Sales
By Lara Spencer
(Abrams Books, $24.95)
Reviewed by Rose M. Croke
Lara Spencer, former host of
Antiques Roadshow, tells read-
ers how she regularly scours lo-
cal flea markets, estate sales and
thrift shops and transforms her
secondhand finds into first-class
design elements and conversa-
tion pieces.
Although Spencer co-an-
chored Good Morning Amer-
ica, this book is about her other
life as an interior designer and
antiques dealer. The only men-
tion of a celebrity is the foreword
by comedienne Kathy Griffin,
whose home Spencer decorated
with furniture pieces she found
at flea markets, estate sales, auc-
tions, thrift shops and on eBay.
When she was a young girl,
Spencers mother would take her
sale-ing every weekend. That
spelling is intentional, since yard
sale-ing didnt require a boat,
only a car with enough space to
haul their prized secondhand
finds home. In fact, the books
title comes from the bumper
sticker on her mothers station
wagon: I Brake for Yard Sales.
Spencer advises not to ap-
proach decorating too seriously.
Figure out what makes you
happy and go for it, she affirms.
Stunning before-and-after pho-
tographs provide step-by-step
advice on what to look for while
shopping and how to get high
style for low prices by using the
three Rs of decorating on a bud-
get: rescue, recycle and reinvent.
Would you ever think of using a
vinyl shower curtain to reuphol-
ster the fabric on your kitchen
chairs? Spencer did, and the re-
sults were ingenious and super
thrifty.
Spencer has a keen eye for
finding diamonds in the rough.
In fact, she used to frequent the
Salvation Army thrift shop in
New York City. Her persistence
paid off when she discovered a
pair of authentic numbered Pi-
casso lithographs priced for just
$35!
Readers might not be so lucky
in their own treasure hunts, but
I Brake for Yard Sales will sup-
ply valuable information, ideas
and inspiration on creating per-
sonal spaces that reflect the peo-
ple, places and things they love
without breaking the bank.

The New England Journal of
Medicine recently reported on
the relationship between vitamin
D supplements and bone frac-
tures. Researchers at Oregon
State University analyzed 11 dif-
ferent studies done with and
without calcium, which often is
given at the same time as vitamin
D. All participants were age 65
or older.
The study concluded there is
a correlation between low levels
of vitamin D and early death in
older adults. Specifically, re-
searchers looked at vitamin D
levels in frail seniors, a group
defined by having three of the
following five characteristics:
exhaustion, slow walking, mus-
cle weakness, low levels of phys-
ical activity and unintentional
weight loss. Pre-frail seniors
have two of the above five. The
frailest seniors had the lowest
amount of vitamin D in their
blood.
The U.S. Preventive Services
Task Force found strong evi-
dence seniors need both vita-
min D and regular exercise to
prevent fractures from falls.
So how do we get vitamin D?
Ideally we get it from our diet
(though theres not much in our
food) and sunshine. But many of
us live in areas where its too cold
to continue walking outside
when winter comes. Thats where
vitamin D supplements come in.
Ask your doctor if you need a
test to determine your vitamin
D levels. Ask, too, whether you
are in a high-risk group and per-
haps need to have your balance,
gait and vision assessed. Getting
more vitamin D could be as sim-
ple as adding certain types of fish
to your diet and taking calcium
and vitamin D supplements.
Dont try this on your own be-
cause your personal dose will
vary. Ask your doctor first.

tions, but she will incorporate them

You can meet Boy Scouts from
Den 7 and all the Scouts from
Pack 15 Thursday, Sept. 20, at 7
p.m. in the Longmeadow Ele-
mentary School cafeteria during
joining night. September is the
Scouts joining month, so plan
to come out and meet the Scouts
and their leaders.
Middleburys Den 7 Scouts
recently enjoyed a stay at Camp
Tadma in Bozrah, Conn., during
a special half-week program for
younger Scouts. Leaders thought
it would be a good transition
from the Scouts day camp expe-
rience last summer to next sum-
mer, when the boys can stay a
full week as camp residents. For
many of the boys, it was their first
experience at an overnight camp
away from home. As it turned
out, even thunderstorms and
spiders couldnt stop them from
enjoying summer camp.
Den Leader Frank Gilroy said
the first night got off to an inter-
esting start, but by the end of the
three-day camp, none of the boys
wanted to go home. It was really
great watching the boys support
each other at whatever they
needed. It was a sort of rite of
passage for the 8-year-olds.We
have a special group of kids, said
Co-leader Rebecca Hare. They
make it really fun for us to be
Scout leaders.
The boys learned how to fish,
handle BB guns and even ar-
chery. For the second straight
year, Den 7 was given a special
award by camp leaders. Last year,
the award was for being the most
active at Camp Mattatuck. This
year, at Camp Tadma, the award
said, Den 7, thank you for show-
ing us that anything is possible!

STAMFORD, Conn. Keep
America Beautiful, the nations
largest volunteer-based commu-
nity action and education orga-
nization, is teaming up with
Nestl Waters North America for
the second annual Recycle-
Bowl youth recycling competi-
tion. Visit Recycle-Bowl.org to
register your school today.
In its inaugural year, more than
1,200 elementary, middle- and
high-schools around the country,
representing more than 500,000
students, participated in the fun,
interactive way to learn about
waste reduction and environ-
mental responsibility through
in-school recycling. Sixty-seven
percent of participating schools
saw a significant or some in-
crease in the amount of materials
their school recycled during the
competition time frame.
Registration for this incen-
tive-based recycling competition
is open to all U.S. schools at the
Recycle-Bowl website. The com-
petition runs from Oct. 15 through
Nov. 9, 2012, culminating around
America Recycles Day (ameri-
carecyclesday.org). Participating
schools will track and report how
much recyclable material they
collect for a chance to win prizes.
At the close of the four-week
competition, the school in each
state that collects the most recy-
clable material per capita will win
$1,000. A national champion will
then be chosen from among the
statewide winners to receive an
additional grand prize valued at
$2,500.
Inspiring young people to re-
cycle at school reinforces the im-
portance of recycling everywhere,
whether at home or on-the-go,
said Matt McKenna, president
and CEO of Keep America Beau-
tiful. And while students are be-
coming better recyclers, their
school facilities are also increas-
ing their capacity to handle and
recover more recyclable materi-
als, thus creating better and more
efficient systems for reducing
their waste.
Educational recycling activities
also will be provided online and
through a registration toolkit. Re-
cycle-Bowl is sponsored by Nestl
Waters North America.
Nestle Waters North America
is eager to see more recycling take
place in our schools, said Heidi
Paul, vice president of corporate
affairs for Nestle Waters North
America. Were proud to partner
with Keep America Beautiful on
this important recycling initia-
tive.

Edward Ned Walsh
Sister of Mary Orsini
Edward Ned
Walsh, 71, for-
merly of Middle-
bury, died Aug. 3,
in Apollo Beach,
Fla., after a long
illness. He was
born Feb. 24,
1941, a son of Ed-
ward and Catherine Walsh.
Ned was a veteran of the U.S.
Navy. He enjoyed weightlifting and
bodybuilding and was an avid fan of
the Boston Red Sox and UConn Hus-
kies basketball.
He leaves his wife, Mary (Bly)
Walsh, of Waterbury; a daughter,
Nanci (Walsh) Fleming, and her hus-
band, Joseph, of Wolcott; his grand-
children, Ian and Jessica Fleming;
three step-sons: Thomas, Robert and
Richard Massetti and their families;
a sister, Mary (Walsh) Orsini, and her
husband, Louis, of Middlebury; a
brother, William Walsh, of Phoenix,
Ariz.; and several nieces, nephews
and cousins.
A private burial was held at St.
James Cemetery in Naugatuck. A
Mass of intention for the soul of Ed-
ward Walsh will be held Sunday,
Sept. 23, at 11 a.m. at Saint John of
the Cross church in Middlebury. Ned
will be dearly missed by all.
The Litchfield Hills Food, Wine
and Opera Gala will be Saturday,
Sept. 8, from 6 to 10 p.m. at The
Country Loft at 557 Main St.
South in Woodbury. Tickets are
$100 per person. Call 203-266-
4500 for tickets and reservations.
The gala was the idea of Karen
Hughes of Abrash Galleries, Car-
ole Winer of The Country Loft
and Vincent de Luise, a retired
area ophthalmologist, who no-
ticed there werent many cultural
goings-on in Litchfield County
in the summer, and very few fea-
tured vocal music. Venues that
did offer vocal music were all a
bit far away, so the trio began
discussing joining forces to put
together a summer dining and
musical event in the community.
To make their dream a reality,
they founded a new nonprofit
arts organization, The Connecti-
cut Summer Opera Foundation
(CSOF). The CSOF will serve to
support a summer residency in
operatic vocal training as well as
engage in educational outreach
by bringing operatic music to
grade schools and elementary
schools to introduce the art form
to the next generation of concert
goers.
The Sept. 8 gala will be the first
CSOF fundraiser. It will unfold
with a farm-to-table tasting cu-
rated by four of Connecticuts
most renowned chefs Tom
Gould of Brass City Bistro, Denis
Niezes of Ovens of France, Carole
Peck of Good News Caf and
Jerry Reveron of Taft School
(founding chef of The Woodward
House). Each will use local pro-
duce and ingredients to fashion
their entrees.
The tasting dinner will be
paired with wines selected by the
chefs in concert with recommen-
dations by Chris Jeans of Casa
Bacchus Wines in Litchfield. The
repast will be followed by an
hour-long recital of vocal high-
lights from some of the worlds
most beloved operas, including
works by Rossini, Puccini, Verdi,
Mozart and Bizet as well as se-
lections from Americas own
composer and conductor laure-
ate, Leonard Bernstein, and his
sparkling musical (really, an
American opera) Candide. Af-
ter the recital, guests will be able
to linger on and savor French-
styled desserts, coffees and teas.
There is a long tradition of
food with opera, de Luise said.
When you think about it, more
than a few operas feature food
and wine, and some even have
banquet scenes, perhaps most
famously the one in the second
act of Mozarts Don Giovanni.
In Verdis Macbeth, there is a
truly Lucullan feast of a banquet,
and Verdis title character in Fal-
staff has already eaten and
drunk pretty much the whole
menu at the Garter Inn tavern by
the middle of Act 1!
De Luise has invited four sing-
ers from the Opera Company of
Brooklyn to perform the recital
portion of the gala. Soprano
Roseanne Ackerley is a graduate
of Mannes College of Music and

Woodbury gala to beneft opera group
When it comes to celebrating
the fruits of the harvest, Middle-
bury churches pretty much have
it covered. The Congregational
church has its strawberry festival.
The Catholic church has its apple
harvest festival. Now St. Georges
Episcopal Church is adding a
blueberry festival. Its Blueberry
Bash will be Saturday, Aug, 25,
from 1 to 4 p.m.
Were so excited about our
Blueberry Bash, said Chair-
person Paulette Zyko. She said
the event will include a variety
of blueberry items for sale, in-
cluding homemade pies, muffins
and homemade jams. The
church ladies have been baking
up a storm. Even the 90-degree
weather hasnt stopped them,
she said.
Zyko said the churchs goal is
to make the blueberry festival an
annual community event that has
something for each member of
the family to enjoy. There will be
childrens games for the kids, a
blue elephant table and vendors
for those who like to shop. Or peo-
ple can rest in the shade to enjoy
a slice of pie or some old-fash-
ioned blueberry cobbler while
listening to music provided by
Pastor John and Allison DeSorbo.
Blueberries picked in Con-
necticut or Maine also will be
available to purchase by the pint.
Anyone wishing to reserve blue-
berries, pies or muffins can call
in orders in to the church at 203-
758-9864 or email stgeorges@
snet.net.

Petrucci agreed to contact P&Z
Chairman Curtis Bosco to ar-
range a meeting.
Formation of a commercial
development guidebook, a fol-
low-on to the permit roadmap
promised in 2009, was proposed
by Kenausis, who asked members
Mirovsky and Armando Paolino
to work with pertinent town of-
ficials/departments/commis-
sions such as P&Z, the Conser-
vation Commission, the Building
Department, tax assessor, and
others for a user-friendly ex-
planation to the process of bring-
ing commercial business to town.
The next regular EIDC meeting
will be Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 6:30

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For
many years, I had heartburn, and
I lived with it by taking medicines
like Tums. Finally, I consulted a
doctor who referred me to a gas-
troenterologist because he was
alarmed at the length of time Id
had it. The gastroenterologist
gave me a scope exam of my
esophagus and stomach. It turns
out I have GERD and something
called Barretts esophagus, which
turns into cancer. Naturally, I am
nervous. Ive never heard of
heartburn-caused cancer. How
often does that happen? A.S.
ANSWER: Not often, but enough
that plans have to be made to
keep checking for such a change.
Heartburn is officially called
GERD, gastroesophageal reflux
disease. Stomach acid squirts
upward (refluxes) into the swal-
lowing tube, the esophagus. The
esophagus isnt built to deal with
stomach acid the way the stom-
ach is. The result is heartburn.
Medicines for GERD are
many. The ones most often cho-
sen are proton-pump inhibitors,
medicines that all but turn off
acid production. Their names
are Prevacid (lansoprazole),
Dexilant (dexlansoprazole),
Prilosec (omeprazole), Nexium
(esomeprazole), Protonix (pan-
toprazole) and Aciphex (rabe-
prazole).
Up to 12 percent of GERD pa-
tients, even with treatment, de-
velop Barretts esophagus. The
lining cells of the lower part of
the esophagus change into ones
that are more resistant to stom-
ach acid. That change can evolve
into another transformation that
is precancerous. Thats called
dysplasia. Dysplasia can then
become cancer. The absolute risk
for this is small, but it is real and
has to be carefully looked for.
If the Barretts cells show signs
of low-grade dysplasia, then a
follow-up scope exam of the
esophagus is done in six to 12
months and repeated annually.
If high-grade changes are found,
the scope exam is repeated every
six months. If no dysplasia
changes are seen, follow-up ex-
ams are scheduled every three
years.
The booklet on hiatal hernia
and GERD gives a comprehen-
sive treatment on this subject.
Readers can obtain a copy by

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a
senior citizen. For the past five
years, I have received Botox in-
jections and wonder where the
Botox goes after it leaves the in-
jection site after about six or
seven months. Does it stay in the
body forever? Does it go to an
organ?
Suddenly, I am worried about
this. S.B.
ANSWER: The body, as it does
with all injected medicines,
breaks down Botox, and the
breakdown products are elimi-
nated. Its the way nature takes
care of all foreign materials that
find their way into our bodies.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: All my
friends have menstrual cycles
that last 28 days. Mine dont.
They vary from 23 to 34 days. Is
that normal?
I feel fine. I am 23 and active.
My periods are not painful. J.F.
ANSWER: The average men-
strual cycle is one of 28 days.
Thats only an average. The cycle
can vary from 21 to 35 days and
still be considered normal.
Dr. Donohue regrets he is un-
able to answer individual letters,
but he will incorporate them in his
column whenever possible. Readers
may write him or request an order
form of available health newsletters
at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL

Its here. The winding down
of summer with last-minute trips
to the Cape, the shore, the vine-
yard or local trips around Con-
necticut. Have you noticed the
subtle shifts in light or been out
on a walk, bike or hike only to
realize its almost dark in the eve-
ning earlier than even last week?
Do you wake up and work out
early in the morn? Im noticing
such beautiful sky around 6 a.m.
painted in swirls and shapes not
seen before as shades of the pal-
est pink, warmest blue and soft-
est white open my heart to some-
thing divine.
Its so nice to feel the gentle
shifts in temperature in sharp
contrast to the high humidity
weve had this summer. Sleeping
is more comfortable with the
windows open wide and the air
conditioner turned off. Were
enjoying fresh green peppers,
cucumbers, eggplant, kale and
baby red potatoes as well as all
sorts of heirloom tomatoes, little
sweet and hot peppers and red-
tipped lettuces from the farm
round the corner. What are you
enjoying?
This weeks nugget for life is
to notice and partake of the gifts
in your natural surroundings as
one season gently and organi-
cally folds into another. Go out-
side early in the morning for your
walk, jog, bike ride or gardening,
or just sit, sip tea and listen. As
soon as the birds wake, you wake
and go outside. In the ambrosial
hours when the world is asleep
and the sun is just coming up, all
is quiet, and you have a wonder-
ful opportunity to let nature
awaken in you feelings of appre-
ciation for this beautiful part of
the world you live in.
I often talk of light exercise
again in the evening as a way of
clearing your head and prepar-
ing for deep rest. Now when you
are out in the early evening
hours, notice how the sun casts
a different sort of light on things.
Slow your breathing down by
doing long, deep breathing to
become really present to the mo-
ment and part of your surround-
ings. Enjoy your week.

A video featuring research on
how yoga works, the safety of yoga
and whether yoga can help treat
certain health problems can be
found at nccam.nih.gov/video/
yoga. It was released by the Na-
tional Center for Complementary
and Alternative Medicine (NC-
CAM), part of the National Insti-
tutes of Health (NIH). There is a
growing body of evidence yoga
may be beneficial for low-back
pain. However, yoga has not been
found helpful for treating asthma,
and studies investigating yoga for
arthritis have had mixed results.
The video also spotlights a set
of consumer tips to help viewers
make decisions if they are inter-
ested in practicing yoga. For ex-
ample:
Yoga is considered generally
safe in healthy people when
practiced appropriately under
the guidance of a well-trained
instructor. However, people
with high blood pressure, glau-
coma, or sciatica and women
who are pregnant should mod-
ify or avoid some yoga poses.
Everyones body is different, and
yoga postures should be mod-
ified based on individual abili-
ties. Inform your instructor
about any medical issues you
have, and ask about the physical
demands of yoga.
If youre thinking about prac-
ticing yoga, be sure to talk to
your health care providers. Give
them a full picture of what you
do to manage your health.
A 2007 Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention survey
reported 13 million American
adults (6 percent) used yoga in
the previous year, and the number
is on the rise as mind and body
therapies are becoming increas-
ingly integrated into the health
care system. Due to a growing
body of evidence-based research,
the American College of Physi-
cians and the American Pain So-
ciety now include a number of
mind and body approaches, in-
cluding yoga, in their clinical
practice guidelines for managing
chronic low-back pain, a common
and difficult-to-treat problem.
This video provides important
information on the safety and
usefulness of yoga and also in-
sights into how scientists study
this commonly used health prac-
tice, said Josephine P. Briggs,
M.D., director of NCCAM. What
were seeing from our researchers
through the application of rig-
orous scientific methods is
evidence suggesting that yoga
may help people manage certain
symptoms while it may not help
with others. Were also learning
more about the safety of yoga,
particularly when it is used in
populations who are at increased
risk for injury.
The video highlights the work
of two respected researchers in
the field of yoga. George Salem,
Ph.D., at the University of South-
ern California uses innovative
technology to examine how older
adults use their muscles and
joints in certain yoga postures.
Karen Sherman, Ph.D., M.P.H. at
Group Health Research Institute
in Seattle focuses on how yoga
may be a beneficial complemen-
tary health practice for people
with chronic low-back pain.
This is the second installment
in NCCAMs The Science of Mind
and Body Therapies video series.
The first video, Tai Chi and Qi
Gong for Health and Well-Being,
was released in September 2010.

Summer camp at Little Britches
Therapeutic Riding in Woodbury
was in full swing this summer.
Seventy children in the Summer
Bridges program at Childrens
Community School (CCS) partic-
ipated in horseback riding les-
sons and learned to groom and
care for horses. They also had art
lessons and environmental activ-
ities every day.
Since 1979, Little Britches mis-
sion has been to provide unique,
equine-based outdoor activities
and therapies that foster extraor-
dinary growth for people with
cognitive, physical, emotional
and economic challenges. It is
part of the CCS eight-week Sum-
mer Bridges program.
CCS is Waterburys only pri-
vate, secular school dedicated to
urban youth. It provides a safe
and supportive environment for
children in pre-kindergarten
through fifth grade. The Summer
Bridges program is primarily an
academic curriculum designed
to help prevent summer slide
and help close the achievement
gap. Four classes of children are
organized by age and academic
achievement, and each class goes
to Little Britches one morning a
week. The children have horse-
back riding lessons, art lessons
and nature activities each week.
The riding program promotes
physical, mental and emotional
health through a series of skills
and challenges. The kids learn
basic riding skills, but also im-
prove their balance, muscle tone
and symmetry. The children learn
responsibility and to follow rules
and directions vital to their safety.
Almost all of them are able to do
a posting trot, and all can steer,
halt and direct the horses to walk
on. Self-esteem increases as the
children accomplish each skill.
Most of the children attending
the program come from an urban
environment and do not get to
experience walking through the
forest or spending time on a horse
farm. At Little Britches, the kids
hike through the woods using
nets and bug scene investigator
kits to catch and study frogs, sal-
amanders, fish, tadpoles and
bugs. All critters are released back
into the forest, although the chil-
dren often want to keep them as
pets.
Most of the children have
never flown a kite, so kite flying
is included. After learning the
joys of running with the wind,
they tell each other to Go fly a
kite!
In art classes, the children
make collages using plants and
flowers, use plants to make rub-
bings and use Queen Annes Lace
and other plants to make sponge
prints. They also make solar
prints and drawings and paint-
ings of the farm and animals they
see.
The trained volunteers who
help groom and tack the horses
and lead and sidewalk with the
riders were wonderful teaching
assistants. Those interested in
helping out can visit littlebritch-
esct.org, or email little.britches@
yahoo.com.
The Summer Bridges program
was funded through grants from
Naugatuck Savings Bank Foun-
dation; George A. & Grace L.
Long Foundation; Bank of Amer-
ica, N.A. and Alan S. Parker,
Co-Trustees; and Friends of Chil-
dren, Inc.

Join the Glebe House Museum
Sunday, Sept. 16, from 1 to 5 p.m.
on Hollow Road in Woodbury as
they host the Colonial Fair &
Muster Day. The Pisgah Moun-
tain Primitives will demonstrate
cooking on open fires, black-
smithing and teach rope turning.
Over 20 craftspeople will demon-
strate other skills and sell their
wares. Attendees may take a
pony ride, play colonial games,
churn butter or practice quill
writing with young docents who
will be in costume and eager to
share their skills.
Strolling Troubadour Tom
Hooker Hanford will on hand for
the afternoon to delight young
and old with historical songs and
stories. The museum and garden
will be open for special tours,
and Glebe House volunteers will
be serving lunch at the outdoor
Colonial Caf. Hollow Road will
be closed for the event so visitors
may stroll down the road to the
Hurd House Museum and One
Room Schoolhouse that will be
open for the afternoon with do-
cents giving tours and demon-
strations.
Local militias were formed to
defend homes and country since
the earliest days of colonial set-
tlement. In order to ensure their
readiness, men in Litchfield
County turned out each year in
early fall in Woodbury for militia
musters to train together with
drills and practice. Whole com-
munities would gather, and the
days took on a festive feeling in
a time when there were few op-
portunities for community cele-
bration. The days involved food,
vendors, showmen, storytellers,
games and spectators. These
gatherings played an important
role in affirming the importance
of community in peoples lives.
Today they serve as a reminder
of the richness of our ancestors
lives and commitment they
made to their country.
The Glebe House Museum
offers the visitor a glimpse of
Revolutionary War-era Con-
necticut. The 18th-century farm-
house is furnished as the home
of Reverend John Marshall, his
wife Sarah, their nine children
and three slaves who lived in the
glebe during the turmoil of the
American War of Independence.
The Museum & Garden is a non-
profit, educational institution
that seeks to be available to ev-
eryone as a unique historical and
cultural landmark by preserving
its heritage and providing pro-
grams and opportunities for ed-
ucation, research and reflection.
If you are interested in partic-
ipating at the fair to assist in rec-
reating the days of the early Co-
lonial Fair & Musters as a demon-
strator or vendor, contact the
museum. There is no charge to
participate, and the Fair is free
for all those who come to the
Hollow to enjoy the day. The Fair
will be held rain or shine. The
fair is sponsored in part by a
grant from the Connecticut Com-
munity Foundation. For more
information, call the museum at
203-263-2855.

Im moving into my
first apartment, and
my dad said I should
have some basic tools
around for plumbing problems
to keep damage from happening
while were waiting for the re-
pairman. What are the best tools
to have to take care of plumbing
emergencies? Tamara in Tuc-
son, Ariz.
The most indispensable
tool in the apartment
plumbing toolbox is, in
my experience, the plunger. This
inexpensive piece of equipment
can stop toilets from overflowing
and unblock sinks and shower
drains without doing damage to
the pipes. When choosing a
plunger, go for a basic force cup
model (this is the classic plunger
with a simple bell), which works
best on sinks and drains. If you
want something a little more
powerful for toilet clogs, pick up
a second plunger with a center
cone, which can increase the vac-
uum when plunging toilets.
These dont fit sink drains very
well, though.
Its also good to keep a few
more tools around for other
plumbing-related work. While
many apartment management
companies will provide more
than emergency repair theyll
also install the showerhead you
want or help with minor repairs
like dripping faucets some
landlords dont provide more
than emergency service. So add
these to your plumbing toolkit:
An adjustable wrench and/or
channel-locking pliers, which
can fit varying widths of pipe.
Flat-head and Phillips-head
screwdrivers.
An offset screwdriver to help
you reach screws at weird an-
gles.
Spare washers, o-rings and
screws.
Electricians or duct tape and
plastic or rubber sheeting that
can be cut to size and wrapped
around a leaky pipe for a tem-
porary repair while waiting for
the handyman.
Teflon pipe tape used to seal
pipe threads.
If youre interested or have
permission to make more heavy-
duty adjustments or repairs, add-
ing a couple of sizes of pipe
wrenches to the toolkit is helpful,
as is purchasing a valve-seating
tool, which cleans valve seats of
sink faucets (a handy tool when
fixing a leaky faucet).

DEAR PAWS CORNER: Last
spring, as I was taking my cat
Ferris out of my moms car at
the vets office, he jumped out of
my arms and ran into the woods.
We searched the woods and sur-
rounding neighborhoods for
hours, with no luck. About a
week later, we got a call from a
veterinarian almost 10 miles
away from where Ferris had es-
caped! He was found by one of
the assistants, and they had
quickly identified Ferris by scan-
ning his implanted microchip.
Please tell your readers how
important it is to microchip their
pets. It reunited us with Ferris
quickly once he was found.
Sarah in Smyrna, Ga.
DEAR SARAH: Im glad to hear
Ferris got home safely! Micro-
chipping can indeed help reunite
a lost pet with its owners. The
biggest benefit of microchips is
if a pet loses its collar and ID tag,
the microchip a rice grain-sized
device typically implanted just
under the skin between the
shoulder blades carries that ID
information as well as contact
information.
Once a microchip is im-
planted, owners should register
the chips information at an on-
line registry such as the nonprofit
Found Animals microchipregis-
try.foundanimals.org or a regis-
try recommended by your veter-
inarian. If your pet gets lost and
is found and scanned, the infor-
mation will be relayed to these
registries. From there, the owner
can check the registries or opt to
be alerted if their pets chip is
scanned.
Microchipping is affordable
as well. Generally, even the pric-
iest chipping costs less than
$100, and its often offered as part
of low-cost vaccination clinics at
a reduced price.

Have you looked at your electric
bill lately? There are some things
we can do to save energy using our
technology. For tips on how to
save energy throughout the house,
visit www.GreenAmerica.org. To
save tech energy, try the following:
Completely turn off all equip-
ment when not in use. At the
end of the work day, or when
you go to bed at night, turn off
the computers, printers, copi-
ers, fax machines, postage ma-
chines, monitors, TV boxes,
decorative lighting, small gad-
gets attached to your desk and
tables or shelves. Turn them on
only when needed, not as part
of a routine.
Switch your light bulbs to more
energy-efficient ones, and use
only half of the ceiling lights if
that is sufficient light.
Use a flat panel instead of a CRT
monitor. The flat panel uses
about 28 watts versus the CRT,
which uses100 watts.
Plan your printing: If possible
plan to print at certain times of
the day. When not printing,
turn it off. From least to greatest
energy use, printers are rated
in order: DOT matrix, ink jet
and laser. If you have more than
one printer in the office or
home, turn on only one, and
leave the other off until needed.
Repair the computer instead of
replacing it as readily as you
may have in the past. According
to OSNews, The key reason to
keep consumer computers in
service longer is environmen-
tal. It costs both natural re-
sources and energy to make a
computer. Lots.
Think of the money you will
save changing your energy use
habits

Scenic panoramas by Middle-
bury photographer Chris Parker
and gourd crafts and illustrations
by Naugatuck artist and illustra-
tor Gail Streigle are on display
and for sale at the Middlebury
Library. They will be on display
at the library through the month
of September.
Photographer Chris Parker
describes himself as an enthu-
siastic amateur. He said he has
always liked taking photos, but
has become more serious about
it since Photoshop software be-
came available. The panoramas
on display at the library were
inspired by his vacations in
Maine and Hawaii.
To achieve the panoramic ef-
fect, he took 12 photos in se-
quence and then stitched them
together on the computer. The
frames are smaller than the
prints and are attached behind
them; the panoramas sit about
an inch off the wall, creating a
three-dimensional effect. Each
panorama consists of four pan-
els that together make a work
about 2 feet by 5 feet on the wall.
Parker is working on additional
panoramas, including one of
Lake Waramaug.
Streigle trained as an illustra-
tor at the New England School
of Art in Boston and the Paier
School of Art in Hamden. She
creates calendars and greeting
cards and has designed custom
T-shirts. While painting pump-
kins with her young daughter,
she became inspired to create
autumnal gourd crafts in such
whimsical forms as a fire-breath-
ing dragon, a warbling Valkyrie
and the talking caterpillar from
Alice in Wonderland. Though
her whimsical works are inspired
by children, Streigle says they
appeal even more to adults.
For information on Chris
Parkers panoramas, contact him
at 203-758-9903. For information
on Gail Streigles drawings and
gourd art, call her at 203-723-
8647.
